Never go grocery shopping while you are hungry. You’ll buy up the entire store.

When you're cooking the recipe is only a reference. When you're baking the recipe is the work of the law.

Check-in on people who always seem strong. Sometimes they’re not doing well but think they can’t say anything because they’re the “strong one.”

Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from.

Leave the first time he frightens you. Because it won't be the last.

Never answer a kid's joke. Always let them tell you the punchline even if you already know it.

Get everything in writing, even if you think you don’t need it. An email, a text message, something in case things don’t go as planned. Has saved me countless times and burned me by not having it.

TURN ON SUBTITLES FOR YOUR KIDS!!! Studies have shown it’s proven to help with reading.

If a kid ever hands you a banana, you answer it like a telephone.

Befriend the IT team at work.

Never insult someone who is going to prepare your food or has access to your data.

Apologize to your children. Genuinely. If you were wrong, say sorry and mean it.

From domestic abusers to supposed experts to politicians. If someone tells you not to seek out another's opinion, they're lying to you.

When a kid shows you a drawing, instead of saying “what is it?” Or guessing, which could upset them, ask them “Can you tell me about it?” The kid will be excited to tell you all about it and they don’t get upset that their nonsensical squiggles weren’t immediately recognized.

Never lie to your doctor.

If you love someone, tell them. Friends, family, coworker. It doesn’t matter. This may be the last time you talk to them.

When in doubt if you get a weird email, text, letter; never click any links in the text or email. Always go to the bank to verify if it is real.

Use sunscreen.

Forgive your younger self. Most importantly, start small. Pick one moment of the past - start small- and view it through your current self. Oftentimes, our mistakes make a lot of sense considering our age/situation. View your past self as if it was your friend or child and comfort accordingly. TLDR It’s forgiving/understanding your past self by understanding WHY you made that mistake.

Waste is generated at the time of purchase, not disposal. Holding onto junk just because you paid money for it isn’t being thrifty, it’s hoarding. Your mental health and your wallet will both be better off if you get rid of it to make space for the things you actually need.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Use turn signals when driving.

Make sure you drink enough water. Every cell in your body needs it

When you are on a job interview, don't forget that you are also evaluating whether that job is a fit for you. Ask about benefits, work culture, what the interviewer personally finds valuable about working there. 1. This makes it appear that you have self-worth and eases your nervousness. 2. The answers they give can tell you a lot about whether you actually want to work there.

Whenever you’re stuck in a situation where someone starts to cry, offer to get them water. It gives them the space to express their emotions privately for a bit and feel cared for as you are trying to help by getting water. Also helps if people crying makes you uncomfortable.

Brush your teeth no matter what just brush em before you lose em

From argumentative a**holes at the grocery store to bullies in public school, this is my best advice: If someone tries to give you a hard time verbally and wants to start crap with you, insult you, or just get you going in some way, always remember: You allow conversations to happen. You can control the length by simply not engaging. Remember: anyone who tries harder to get you to respond is losing and getting desperate. Source: former Correctional Officer. People talking s**t to you from behind bars doesn't matter when you never acknowledge it. Eventually, you stop caring when you hear instigation and you hear it for what it is: a power play. The only winning option is not to play.

If you're an artist or in a job where you type a lot, take breaks and do wrist stretches! Carpel Tunnel sucks.

Never send an angry email or text immediately. Wait at least an hour and read it out loud or to a friend.

Don’t expect ‘you’ from other people.

Small tips : if you go somewhere, take with you something that should be there (if you go to the kitchen for a glass or a snack, take with you the old glass or who is already there) it will make the big cleaning faster.

Add your email recipients AFTER you've finished and checked the email. But add attachments first! Too many times I sent out emails without adding the necessary files.

Ask each of your family members to write/ record their story. Make it a tradition. In a century your family will either know their whole family’s story or you can have your own private museum of history from the eyes of basic people.

Even if you are not big on history, learn some key dates/ years/periods by heart: World wars, Magna Carta, Great London Fire, when agriculture started, Ice Ages. Decide to learn about 10, depending also where you live (your country's independence date for example), then just stick them in your memory in any way you can and is most suitable for your learning style. Don't overdo it, because then you won't do it. This way you can quickly place events in history on your mental map and you have a clearer picture of where we've been and where we are heading.
